A Criminal Sketch

So a P.I. asked me to do a few sketches for a client of his but ultimately the client said that after seven tries the nose always came out wrong.  But it was hard since all they kept telling me was the nose was long, thin and up-turned.  This guy was apparently stalking his client but she didn't have any photos.  She described him as late 30s early 40s, with dark olive skin an average jaw line.  Large almond-shaped brown eyes that looked like they belong on a woman, thin eye brows with light wrinkles that made him look jaded.  He also had straight brown hair and a widow's peak combed back.
 
Oh well.  It was a change of pace compared to what I've been working on a lot for the past year.  I probably only spend about an hour and a half making this with all the different nose changes.  Most of the time all she would tell me was the nose was too long or too short, but I think there were other details about the nose that were not right that she wasn't telling me about.
